Photo-transfer vs. Collage

Collage started showing up as early as the 1860s, whereas transfer came along with photocopiers.  In my workshops I often demo photo-transferring and I always use collage in my artwork. These two techniques are similar, but have some very particular differences. Specifically what kind of images are different for each. Collage has the most versatility. You can add in any printed material by glueing it in and taking care to make sure it is flat and properly glued. Photo-transfer is about transferring the ink and only photocopies or laser printed images will work. In this video I talk about the differences and what images work best for photo-transfer.
